About £425,000 for the middle of the market, which buys a village address and a Bath postcode without the Bath price tag. Terraces sit well under that. Detached houses sit spectacularly over it. Very little changes hands in any given year. This is not a market you time, it is a market you wait for.
The Land Registry recorded 41 sales in the year to May 2026, with a median of roughly £425,000. Split by type, terraced houses came in at a median of about £350,000 and flats at around £268,000, which are the two entry points. Semi-detached houses landed at roughly £510,000. Detached houses reached a median of approximately £1,169,000, though that figure rests on six sales, so it describes those six houses more than it describes the village. Forty-one transactions across a year is a thin market, and a thin market means the house you want may simply not come up.
For direction, the Land Registry house price index put the average at about £406,000 as of May 2026, up around 1% over the twelve months. That is a small movement and worth calling small. Flats went the other way over the same period, down roughly 2%, with the index putting the typical flat at about £239,000 and the typical terrace at about £385,000.
Council tax is the part of the arithmetic that flatters the place. Band B is the most common band, and around 27% of dwellings sit in bands A or B combined, which is not what the house prices would lead anyone to guess. A band D bill runs to roughly £2,380 a year.
Renting is priced by the wider area rather than the village. Typical private rent across the Bath and North East Somerset area, taken as a mean from the Office for National Statistics price index rather than a middle value of advertised listings, runs at about £1,880 a month as of April 2026. By size across that same area, one-bedroom homes average around £1,200 a month, two-bedrooms about £1,510, three-bedrooms roughly £1,800, and four or more around £2,530. That is a city-and-villages figure, so it carries Bath's own rental pressure inside it.
On affordability, modelled median household income for the area was about £72,000 gross before tax in the financial year to March 2023. Against a median sale price of roughly £425,000, that is a stretch by any ordinary lending arithmetic, and it explains why the market here moves slowly and why so much of the stock stays in the same hands for decades. The income figure describes 2022 and 2023, not today.
Price per square metre, across the sales we can measure against an energy certificate's floor area, runs at about £4,300. That covers roughly 66% of the sales, so it is a good indicator rather than a complete one. The typical matched home behind that figure has around 112 square metres of floor space, which is a proper family house rather than a compact one.
The bedroom mix explains the rest. Census 2021 puts about 41% of households in three-bedroom homes and roughly 36% in four or more, with around 18% in two-bedroom homes and about 6% in one-bedroom. The small end of the market barely exists here, which is why the flats and terraces that do come up get attention.
Value for money is where Batheaston does worst. You are paying a Bath-adjacent premium for a village with no station, and the prices reflect the postcode more than the amenities.
